One million billion stars out there
Enclosed in empty space
There's far too much of everywhere
To find the human race
For thirteen billion years or more
The stars have lived and died
To think that we are what it's for
Is just our foolish pride
Through endless tracts of empty space
For ever and a day
You'd hunt to find a friendly face
And never find a way
For every man alive on Earth
There's galaxies to spare
The best of us are hardly worth
The weight of nothing there
And yet, if lost, I know I'd find
Each microscopic clue
For me there'd be no peace of mind
If I did not have you

You are really going for these contest entries! Yes, this is quite philosophical, cosmic, in fact. It makes me feel all insignificant & alone. With all that astronomical information you have maintained a consistent rhyme scheme as well. That couldn't have been particularly easy. Nice one.
